clear skies Ken
I hadn't considered that different cameras would have a different amount of sensitivity benefit (relative to their 1x1 sensitivity of course) at different binnings compared to other camera's. Interesting. It really goes to show then that everyone knows their own equipment best and that doesn't necessarily translate to other setups
